New approach to climate change adaptation in Radom based on the presently conducted LIFE project
ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGETHROUGH SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF WATER
OF THE URBAN AREA IN RADOM CITYOF THE LIFE14 CCA/PL/000101 PROJECT
located in central Poland (100 km to
the south of Warsaw – the
capital)220,000
inhabitants
located upon the Mleczna River at the
fork of the Vistula and Pilica rivers
one of Poland's most environmentally-friendly &
modern wastewatertreatment plants
logistics and industrialcentre (the junction of several major transport
routes)
dominated by the precision engineering, metal & leather
industries
city of festivals (cutural, music, film, sport, street artists, theatre, fashion
& air shows);
basketball & volleyball teamsfrom Radom are the leaders
of the premier league in Poland
The labourers' protest in June1976 in Radom marked the
beginning of the politicaltransformation in Poland.
The City of Radom
BUDGET INFO:
Total amount: € 5 838 099
% EC Co-funding: 56,84
DURATION: Start 16/07/2015 - End: 31/12/2020
PROJECT’S IMPLEMENTORS:
Coordinating Beneficiary: Municipality of Radom
Associated Beneficiaries:
Municipal Water Works of Radom
FPP ENVIRO
University of Lodz
Overall objective:To increase climate resilience of Radom City by
building demonstrative “green-blue infrastructure” for managing extreme rainwater flows and control flood
risks
Objective 2 (cross-cutting):To integrate and enhance biological diversity in all project actions
Preliminary actions:- 2 Working Groups : on BGI, on integration tha adaptation to the local politics and decision making- Biological inventories in the project area, - Vulnerability Assessment,- Hydro-dynamic modeling,- Concepts and projects for the urban climate adaptation measures implementation both for large
and small-scale measures- Purchase of the land needed.
Implementation actions:- Large – scale BGI on rivers and the city reservoir (SSBS – in two locations - multi-use water
retention area, restoration of 600 m of the Mleczna River, management of extreme flows in BorkiReservoir)
- Small – scale BGI in the city landscape (swales, clima – ponds, permeable surface, rain gardens, tree trench)
Monitoring actions:
- Monitoring of climatic conditions and surface runoff,- Monitoring of social – economic effects of the project, - Monitoring of biodiversity, - Monitoring of hydrological effects of the adaptation measures,- Assesment of the effectiveness of the adaptation measured for water improvement.
Promotion and dissemination actions- Project website, - Noticeboards, - Networking activities, - Awarness-rising and dissemination activities.
Management of the project
BIOLOGICAL INVENTORY IN THE PROJECT AREA AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS FOR LARGE – SCALE BGI
6 reports – inventories of botany, enthomofauna, fish, amphibians, birds – provide recommendations for BGIimplementation
PRELIMINARY ACTIONS
Objectives:– To integrate and enhance biological diversity in all project actions,- To recognise and map the occurance and distribution of most valuable species and habitats in
the project area,- To develop baseline biodiversity assessment for asssuring means to enhance local biodiversity,- To give recommendations and assisting the best possible planning of the implementationactions for large – scale BGI

HYDRO-DYNAMIC MODELLING TO OPTIMIZE WATER PURIFICATION IN SEDIMENTATION PONDS
Hydraulic model for the Borki reservoir and sedimentation ponds developed to suport design of the stormwater drainage system, to increase self-purification and retention of stormwater transported by the Mleczna river, and protect the Borki reservoir.
It was used in VA report and optimization of the large scale BGI adaptationmeasures to increase the efficiency of the investment stage of the project.

PROTOTYPE OF THE RETENTION SYSTEM
Adaptation of land to create a polder floodplain at the Cerekwianka Stream
TREE TRENCH SYSTEM
ONE OF THE CITY SQUARES – BLUE AND GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
RAIN GARDEN, also called a STORMWATER GARDEN, is a designed depression storage or a planted hole that allows rainwater runoff fromimpervious urban areas, like roofs, driveways, walkways, parking lots, and compacted lawn areas, the opportunity to be absorbed.
PERMEABLE PAVING SURFACE
Permeable paving is designed to allow rainwater to infiltrate through the surface, either into underlying layers (soils and aquifers), or be stored below ground and released at a controlled rate to surface water.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS:MANAGEMENT OF EXTREME FLOWS IN BORKI RESERVOIR
DRAINING OF THE BORKI RESERVOIR (OCTOBER 2018)
MANAGEMENT OF EXTREME FLOWS IN BORKI RESERVOIR
DRILLINGS AND TESTS ON CONCRETE RESISTANCE TO COMPRESSION OF THE DAM

CONSTRUCTION OF INNOVATIVE GREEN-BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN THE INNER CITY
CLIMAPOND WITH WATER PLAYGROUND AND RIGOLA (RAINGARDEN)
MONITORING OF CLIMATIC CONDITIONS AND SURFACE RUNOFF
The purchase and installation of 3 weather stations completed in July 2018.
Each station includes: a rain gauge, a device for measuring: temperature and humidity, pressure, direction and speed of wind and snow cover
MONITORING ACTIONS :
MONITORING OF SOCIAL-ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT
Questionnaires distributed and collected from a sample of 500 adult residents of Radom, including 400 fromareas particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and 100 from the remaining parts of Radom.
RESULTS OF THE SURVEY:
• Radom inhabitants concern with climate change: droughts, water shortages, temperature peaks, urban heatisland, polluted water in rivers and reservoirs.
• major concern is too small amount of green infrastructure to protect people from the heat.
• most people at the age of 50+ feels fear about their health during hot days.
• stronger feeling of concern about the consequences of the occurrence of heat than the risks associated withintense rainfal.
ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ADAPTATION MEASURES FOR WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION STAGE
MONITORING OF BIODIVERSITYSO FAR BIODIVERSITY REPORT WAS DEVELOPED FOR THECOMPLETED BGI MEASURE - FOR CLIMAPOND(GRENADIEROW/ CLIMATIC KINDEGARDEN)
• first natural processes observed,
•establishment of the plants,
• first signs of succession and competition,
• first pioneer species have arrived – this arevery mobile insects: dragonflies, Hemiptera and flies.
•every season during next several years is expected to bring visible changes and further growth of natural diversity.
• some changes will most likely need a degree of control and management, eg. plant succession
2,5 months after implementation:
Moor's cove Anisus spirorbis
Water boatman Notonecta sp.
Large fishbowl Gerris lacustris
Dragonfly larvae Libellula depressa
